There's nothing wrong with Kingdom Hearts. D:<

However, I prefer Kris' official artwork to Soul's, but I prefer Soul's sprite- though my opinion may be altered if I were to see what a 4th gen Kris sprite would look like. Because Soul's is very cute. ;w;

I have no problem admitting that I much prefer Soul, she's just a breath of fresh air and makes the game all that more exciting and new. Something about kris always seemed off to me, like she didn't really match gold or her position as heroine, like her outfit having too many colours...

Kris is better than Kris.
And a lot better.

Hold on..... what now? :\

*immediately votes Kris* She was much cooler, and especially with Marina in the anime, it seems that the view on Kris makes her more popular.

Sweet Smoochum July 13th, 2009 2:55 PM

I'm guessing all you Kris fans hate my avatar, don't you? Why do all of you hate this new girl? Is it because she's not your favorite character, Kris? Pretend Kris never existed, would you still hate this new character? Hating someone for not looking the way you want them to look is a little ridiculous, don't you think? This new girl actually looks age appropriate. I honestly don't think they made her look like Mario on purpose. Her shirt was made red to match Gold's. They were probably thinking of just giving her shorts, but the shirt looked a little plain, so they made the shorts into overalls. In wifi plaza, the boy and girl trainers wear overalls and it looks cute on them. Okay, so the artwork isn't perfect. Sometimes the artwork looks gorgeous and the sprite looks awful. We know the hat isn't that big on her overworld sprite. If we're going to make a good decision, I think we should wait until we see the back sprite and the battle sprite.

Sydian July 13th, 2009 2:58 PM

Soul and Kris are even with me. I still don't see anything special about Soul, but I've never liked Kris because of how serious she is in the manga. There should be a neither option up there, becaues I don't care for either. I'll probably end up playing as Gold anyway.

But if I have to pick, I do love my nostalgia, so Kris gets my vote here.

As for the poll, I like both... No preference at the moment.

Oops! XD You're right I mistyped that. XB

PokeBabe July 13th, 2009 3:06 PM

Well I thought Kris was pretty cool, but iunno.
i dont really prefer one over another. i would be happy to play as either, although Soul looks rather interesting as a sprite, even though her artwork isnt too great.

Miss Soupy July 13th, 2009 3:16 PM

Soul. Even if her outfit looks like Mario's, she's still cute. And I don't understand the Soul hate. It takes so much less energy to calmly dislike the design of Soul while still preferring Kris than to go on a hating spree.

But I don't know. I never got as attached to Kris as some did, apparently. And I really do doubt that Game Freak has abandoned Kris like some think they have. :/

Randydrew66 July 13th, 2009 3:38 PM

SOUL SOUL SOUL FTW!!! oh yeah lol

Sakura Rain July 13th, 2009 4:05 PM

Kris and Soul are pretty much even with me. I love Kris because of nostalgia, and Soul's sprite really doesn't look that bad. (despite the horrible artwork) I really didn't like Soul at the beginning, but she's grown on me a little bit.

Samme! July 13th, 2009 4:36 PM

.Nostalgia, Smishtalgia. Yeah, I know that you grew up playing as Kris in the originals, but things change people! Soul is a breathe of fresh air for the pokemon games because she modernizes the female player. Kris on the other hand was just another trainer you could choose who had strange bluish hair and an ugly outfit. I really think that Soul will give some "soul" for the new games.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're AWESOME!!! :D I really mean it. I gave you good rep for your post.

Out of all the female characters, Kris was the one I liked least. Honestly, if you Kris fans don't like the new girl, either don't play as her or don't buy the game, and give up Pokemon. I have a headache because of you Kris fans, so thanks. I'm trying to understand how you people think the new girl is ugly. Picture the girl from the Pokemon Sunday show wearing Soul's outfit and wearing pigtails. That's how it would look. I don't see the socks as real socks, I see them more as knee highs with the same texture as stockings/tights. Besides, I thought people actually LIKED Mario. I also picture this new character in a game such as SSMB.

Inferno1 July 13th, 2009 5:04 PM

Soul i have no idea why i just think she is better

Samme! July 13th, 2009 5:05 PM

GymLeaderLily,
You.
Are.
Genius.

Absolutely Positively 100% Agree.

and thank you so much for the rep :D hehehehehe first rep ever!!

Ayselipera July 13th, 2009 6:16 PM

I like them both equally. Although I do like Kris's blue hair alot<3

Ellie July 13th, 2009 7:31 PM

^Your sig/avi disturbs me.

Anyways, I like them both. Kris was cool when she first came out and I still like her, but "Soul" (though I don't think that'll end up being her name) isn't as bad as people say. I actually think she's kind of cute. I'd be happy to play as either one.

Please stop generalizing. I know tons of Kris fans, and I am one myself, none of us have started complaining loudly because of Soul. In fact, most of the other people I know actually like Soul. Just because a couple of mindless fanboys on a huge Pokémon forum are complaining doesn't mean all people with similar preferences are the same.

I totally agree with you!

I really don't be rude most of the time but: WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT KRIS FANS HATE SOUL????!!???! I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU!! I HAVE ALREADY SAID THAT THE NEW CHARACTER IS NOT BAD AND MOST OF US KRIS FANS DO NOT HATE HER,BUT EVERYTIME I READ YOUR POST I COME UPON THE SAME PHRASE OR SENTENCE' Blah blah Kris fans hate soul blah blah Kris fans hate soul' WHEN HAVE WE SAID THAT WE HATE SOUL??? I DON'T REMEMBER EVER SAYING THAT!!! SO PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP SAYING THAT WE HATE SOUL!!!!

Ahem.. Looks like I got a little angry. I just don't hate soul and many others too don't hate her like me! So stop saying all that stuff about Kris fans. We just were hoping that she gets a cameo and nothing else. So no need to make it an argument and dividing the community on the basis of Kris and Soul fans!

(I know that some people may bad rep me for this one but I just needed to say this!)

EDIT: I got -ve rep for this one. But I really don't mind it. This may be a little too shouty but this type of message is written in this way only. If you want to give me more -ve rep then go ahead and give it. I really don't care coz I know that I have not made any mistake here. If I would have made any mistake then I would have been concerned about the -rep and all that. I have got -ve rep previously too but I knew that I had done something wrong those times. But not now. So go ahead and give me -999 rep for this one, I am not concerned.

Pokestick, good times. July 14th, 2009 6:23 AM

Well, if I would have posted here when I first saw the new female character, I'd say she's horrible. When I posted here yesterday, I had grew, and realized that she was on the same level than Kris, and didn't really care.
Now... I just remembered that I didn't even like Kris in Crystal... :cer_eek:
And so... I happen to think Soul is actually better in every way.
Sorry, this is my opinion. Live with it. I don't hate Kris Fans, I don't even hate Pokémon Anime-Fans, even though it sucks (you have to admit, PokéSpe is better).
As a matter of fact, I just gave Crusher 1 good rep. Take this the way you want.
I can't even remember the very reason I posted here now, I guess this is turnin' into a... Peace-makin' post. And if you like it or not, it's up to you.
Kris-Fans. Look at soul and say one good thing about her.
Soul-Fans. Take a look at Kris and do the same. (If I actually get you to do this, then I'm impressed, Roflmao)
And people who like both/doesn't care. Give yourselves a hug.

Personally I think Soul is better RIGHT NOW, but kris was a good new thing when Crystal came out, made a lot of more girls play Pokémon (I think). That was my good thing.

*But Leaf is still better.*

Lance July 14th, 2009 6:53 AM

Kris was first female playable-character,and I loved to play with her..Oh good ol' times..

KRIS!

THIS.
OK, I actually liked Kris's clothes. I swear I could put her outfit together from my closet in a different color scheme and wear it if I wanted. But I hated the color scheme so effing much (red/yellow). It was a little more bearable in the anime (pink/purple).

"Soul" gets my vote. I'm a fan of overalls. I wore overalls religiously when I was a little girl, there's my bit of admitted hypocritical nostalgia. I wear my white cabbie hat more than any other of my hats. I have brown hair and brown eyes. Soul actually looks like me, so I can relate to her better. And have you seen the art of her? I don't mean the first one, I mean all the others. There's like three or four of them and she looks frikin adorable (I'm taking her hoooome~)!

It's alright if people don't like her because everyone has opinions. What grinds my gears is people blindly saying Kris is better because of sheer nostalgia. I didn't see anybody gushing over Kris before Soul came along. If people took off the rose-tinted glasses for about 10 seconds they would see that there's really nothing to whine about. There's a female playable character with a different color scheme and clothes, that in my opinion, actually look less jailbait than Kris's. Why? Kris's clothes are skin-tight. You can see everything. "Soul" has short overalls, but she's wearing long socks to cover her legs. She's exposing nothing that doesn't need to be, which fits with Johto's Fall theme.

One final note. Why do people whine about Soul's hat? Kris is wearing a yarmulke, in case you haven't noticed. A yarmulke. That's the one thing I never liked about Kris. Everything else is fine, but Soul is my personal preference.

tl;dr version: Soul >>>> Kris

Its good to know that there are some people who follow the philosophy of 'Different People, Different Opinions' lol XD. I have to say that there are people like THAT, but some people just like Kris for other things besides nostalgia.(I personally really don't care much about nostalgia! XD) So I fall in that other category. I STILL say that I don't hate Soul! Hope some people are listening! lol XD.
